Police state

Last month, in Wolcott, CT, at Wolcott High School, a chilling announcement came over the P.A. system one morning. It warned that an intruder, an armed, dangerous intruder, had entered the school, and the kids were to kill the lights in the classrooms and get in the corner. I can only imagine how this must have felt to these kids, as children of the Columbine age, Virginia Tech, the shooting in Norway in July, and so many other crazy acts of violence across the country, and the world. Must've scared the fuck out of those kids.

The intruder wasn't real, you see. The school administration, or the cops, or someone made this story up, and for what? Why would anyone do that?

To look for drugs. To have the cops bring in their drug doggies and walk up and down the hallways, sniffing for weed in lockers.

Drug dog. Get it?

They told the kids that there was an armed man in the building, to get the kids to cooperate during a search for drugs. Which they never found. These are people who have been entrusted with the safety and education OF OUR CHILDREN.

I just can't believe that someone would be so stupid. What if one of those kids was related to a shooting victim? What if that terrified a kid so badly, that he or she now has PTSD? What about the next 'authority figure' who tells these kids to sit down and shut up, and is told to fuck off? What. The. Fuck?

It's incredible that this sort of thing happens. They had no probable cause, no reason to bring in the dogs at all, and looking for drugs isn't the problem here anyway. The problem is THEY TOLD THE KIDS THERE WAS AN ARMED AND DANGEROUS PERSON IN THE HALLS RIGHT NOW LOCK THE DOORS AND HIDE when there was no such person. What the fuck is wrong here? Is it me?

 I hope they don't wonder why their kids don't trust anyone over 30. They don't seem to have much of a reason to. I hope one, or more, of these kiddoes folks is feeling litigious. These kids could need a lot of therapy after this shit. That's expensive. And, some dumb fucker needs to lose his or her job. Anyone who thinks that this was a good fuckin idea, that just the guy you don't want steering the ship, know what I mean?

Of course, now they know just what treacherous fuckers cops and authority figures can be. And now they know why to never, ever trust their bosses, or the traffic cop that pulls them over, or anyone, really. Way to go, Wolcott. Way to break a buncha young people.

The online paper I got this story from, the writer said the if you want teenagers to trust you and what you say, its best not to lie to them. That means that kids aren't as fucking stupid as you think, Wolcott, Connecticut, you assholes. He also said that we don't as a society, set kids on fire so that they will take fire drills more seriously. Careful, dude, you don't wanna give those hayseeds in Wolcott any ideas.

Peace.
